Five Weeks of School, Stress, and Soccer (plus fun, family, and friends)
Dear Readers,
It has FOR SURE been a busy five weeks...this will continue for the next four years--then it's college. But it is nice to know that I have made it through the first month of High School. It is going really well; my classmates are nice and I like my teachers for the most part. I have met and made friends with so many girls too. This was something I was really excited for in school. Soccer is also going great--our first two/three? games were rough but oh well! our team is made up of awesomeness. (OH YEAH!) We are currently 5-3-1 (Win-Loss-Tie) We beat a team that our school team has not beat in seven, YES SEVEN, years! Big accomplishment I'd say.
My sister has been posting "In and Out" posts on her blog so I'm going to copy (something I don't make a habit of doing, but she is my sister and all.)
In:
~School
~Homework
~Soccer
-training
-games
-WINNING!(woohoo!)
~Family
~Friends
~Dancing
~Whale Brothers
~Movies
~A bit of stress
~Church
~"Give me ten Tim-bits!"
Out:
~Procrastination
~Slacking
~Sleeping a lot
~Free-time (except weekends)
~Facebook
Enough about me,
Leah

Tick Tock
Time by Pink Floyd-- one of my most favorite songs...
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
BREATHE REPRISE
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Ice Cold Peach Lemonade
It was one of those days where it was really hot and you just need something cold to sustain and chill you...I had made Nora some peach lemonade recently and she really liked it. It sounded good. I was craving it.
4 SERVINGS, OR SO
You'll need:
1 peach
2 lemons
3-4 T. sugar (white or brown)
1/2 c. water
2-3 handfuls of ice cubes
Blender
Lemon squeezer
Mesh strainer
Glasses (the kind you drink out of)
Ice cubes
First you'll want to squeeze the 2 lemons and pour the juice through the strainer to remove the seeds. You can put the pulp back in with the juice but make sure the seeds are G.O.N.E. Then, you can put the lemon stuff in the blender with the water. Don't forget the sugar! You'll want to add it, depending on how sweet you like your beverages. I personally think that adding brown sugar brings out the peach flavor and sweetness and adds a molasses-ee taste. Yum! Then add your ice cubes and use the ice cube slushifying setting or pulse on your blender. The consistency should be like a lemon slush...which is exactly what it is. Before I put my peaches in with the slush, I cubed them. This is an unnecessary step. But cubing peaches is just too fun to skip! I'm positive that you agree with me on that one..HAHA. Blend until smooth, the peach skin will show, but DO NOT FEAR. I am HERE to tell you that this is OK. Now, taste your concoction. Need more sugar to appeal to you taste buds? Add more. More water? Add water. My Ingredient list was how I like it. However, I may have added more water. I cannot remember.
Serve your drinks in tall glasses with the large wet squares we here call ice cubes. Why large? They won't melt fast. However, it is best to drink your peach lemonade when you pour it. No, you do not have to gulp it down in a matter of seconds but it separates and the melted ice, now water, travels to the bottom of the glass leaving a drink parfait. Negative.
Enjoy!

I was on Facebook and saw that one of my friends had posted a certain quote on their status or wall or whatever it's called.. anyway, I thought it was pretty sweet.
"You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find that all you have left are empty yesterdays."
I'm still not exactly sure what it means...

We Are The World 25 for Haiti
Watch "We Are The World 25 for Haiti" in my video bar to the right... It should be the first video. Simple click, sit back and enjoy the song. There is another video called something like "We Are the World 57 for Haiti." The artists are unknown but just as talented as the superstars. It made me feel.. well, I don't know how to describe it. Kind of like I felt an invisible presence. A happy one. It was strange. Powerful.

We all need somebody that we can lean on
when you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
when the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone
we are the World connected by a common bond

Love the whole planet sing it along
